Dove, a 2015 Beneteau Swift Trawler 50, is an owner-operator trawler with a three-stateroom, two-head layout. Dove is a veteran of the Great Loop and is listed with Curtis Stokes & Associates Inc. for $695,000.
“This Swift Trawler 50 is designed with vertical pilothouse windows that curve around, offering a panoramic view, and the narrow supporting mullions ensure clean sight lines. The view astern is limited by the cabinets in the galley to starboard, but then the joystick control is handily placed so you can stand in the pilothouse door and look aft. There is also an optional joystick in the aft cockpit and another at the flybridge helm, so you can always see where you are going in the marina,” Yachting previously reported.
Dove is powered by twin 435 hp Volvo Penta IPS600 diesel engines, but reportedly offers the performance of 1,200 hp straight-shaft diesels due to their pod-drive design. Dove has a top-end speed of 21 knots, butdial it down to 15 knots for a jog down the coastline. At a 10-knot cruise speed, range is around 640 nautical miles with a 10 percent reserve.
Cockpit access is via a passerelle. The cockpit has a teak sole and is partly shaded by the flybridge. Guests can relax on an L-shaped transom bench-style settee with a double pedestal teak table, offset to the port side and two deck chairs. Enjoy an alfresco style dinner in the shade with the addition of sunscreens, or set up the isinglass enclosure for protection from the elements. For those seeking a little more privacy, walk around the side deck to the foredeck and improve your tan on a sun pad. Other cockpit amenities include a starboard side transom door to the swim platform and a starboard side docking station with engine controls as well as bow thruster and joystick controls for close-quarters handling.
The flybridge has a helm on centerline with two Springfield helm seats, and all controls within arm’s reach. Just abaft the helm and to starboard is a bench-style settee adjacent to a portside L-shaped settee with a double pedestal folding wood table. A Bimini top gives the captain the option of sun or shade over the flybridge helm. Guests can relax on the aft deck, which also stows a FRIB 275 foldable tender, while grilling a few burgers on the Kenyon cooktop. Belly up to the portside wet bar with a sink and Waeco refrigerator/freezer for another beverage before heading inside to cool off.

Guests can relax on the L-shaped settee with a hi-lo table to starboard. There are cabinets and a flat-screen TV located to port. Forward and up a few stairs to starboard is the galley as well as a dinette to port in the pilothouse. Some of galley amenities include:

After a long day on the water, owners and guests can retire to one of three staterooms accommodating five guests. The full-beam master stateroom is amidships with a queen-size centerline berth and en suite head. Two portholes with shades allow natural light into the space, along with recessed and reading lamps. Owners can stow their personal belongings under the berth, in two hanging lockers and cabinets. The forward guest stateroom has a queen-size island berth and shares a head located aft and to the starboard of the stateroom. The portside guest stateroom has a single berth with a deck, drawers, cabinets and shelves.
Dove was designed with crew quarters which previous owners removed for additional stowage space. These quarters can be reconstructed for additional guests or kept for stowage space. The pilothouse dinette can also be laid down to accommodate one additional guest.
